from May to August which are the winter months and

WILD
COAST - GENERAL INFORMATION |
The Wild Coast, as its name implies is rugged and
restless, with abundant shipwrecks strewn along its
isolated beaches. This is typically unspoiled rural
South Africa, which is nearly left in time and chiefly
untouched by the infrastructure of the rest of the
country.
This is because it was a black homeland within apartheid
South Africa that was not deemed worthy of development.
Today it remains a poor area dotted with villages
of traditional mud and thatch huts. Cattle are grazed
on the grasslands and the land is toiled by hand and
oxen to provide a subsistence living
A preferred destination along the Wild Coast, Port
St John’s offers up an incredible stretch of
coastline. Second Beach at Port St John’s is
a tropical heaven and nature lovers find it tough
to leave this haven. The beaches of Port St John’s
are incredible for swimming and a nearby lagoon is
a great for children to play in safety.
